Psalms 21

1 Yahweh, ([I], your king am glad/the king is glad) because you have caused me/him to be strong. (I rejoice/he rejoices) greatly because you have rescued me/him [from my/his enemies].

【頌賜勝利的天主】 達味詩歌，交與樂官。 上主，君王因你的威能而欣喜，因你的救助狂歡而快樂無比。

2 You have given me/him the things that I/he [SYN] desired and you have not refused to do what I requested you to do.

你滿全了他心中的渴想，沒有拒絕他口中的盼望。

3 In answer to my/his prayer, you enabled me/him to succeed and prosper. You placed a gold crown on my/his head.

因為你已賜給了他卓越的福寵，以純金的冠冕加在他的頭頂；

4 I/He asked you to enable me/him to live [for a long time], and that is what you gave me/him, a very long [HYP] life.

他雖只向你乞求確保性命，你卻賜給他萬世無疆的長生。

5 (I am/He is) greatly honored because you have helped me/him to defeat my/his enemies; you have made me/him famous.

你協助他獲得偉大的光榮，你加給他無比的榮耀與尊崇；

6 You will bless me/him forever, and you have caused me/him to be joyful in your presence.

你使他成為萬世的福源，使他在你面前踴躍喜歡。

7 Yahweh, you are God Almighty, and (I trust/the king trusts) in you. Because you faithfully love me/him, disastrous things will never happen to me/him.

君王既已全心對上主信賴，憑至高者的慈愛不再移改。

8 You will enable me/him to capture [MTY] all my/his enemies and all those who hate me/him.

願你的手將你的一切仇敵搜羅，願你的右手將憎恨你的人捕捉！

9 When you appear, you will throw them into a fiery furnace. Because you are angry [with them], you will get rid of them; the fire will burn them up.

當你顥示你尊容的時候，處置他們有如放在火爐；願上主以震怒消滅他們，讓火焰也盡情吞滅他們！

10 You will remove their children from this earth; their descendants will all disappear.

願你從地上滅盡他們的子女，使他們的後裔全絕跡於人世！

11 They planned to harm you, but what they plan will never succeed.

他們雖為陷害你而設計，策畫的陰謀卻無濟於事；

12 You will cause them to run away [IDM] by shooting arrows at them.

因為你朝他們張弓搭箭，已使他們嚇得轉身逃竄。

13 Yahweh, show us that you are very strong! When you do that, while we sing we will praise you because you are very powerful.

上主，請起來，顯示你的英勇，讓我們歌頌稱揚你的威能。
